Ingredients

  • 6 russet potatoes
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs thyme

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/200⁰C.

Peel potatoes, then slice the ends off so the potato is flat. Cut into 1-inch slices, place in large bowl.

Combine potatoes with one tablespoon of olive oil, kosher salt and pepper to taste.

Heat 12″ (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat; add remaining two tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter.

Once butter is foamy, add in potatoes, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.  Sear 6-8 minutes on one side, or until nicely browned.

Flip potatoes over, and add in chicken stock, remaining butter, garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme.

Remove handle from skillet, and transfer to oven.  Roast potatoes for 30 minutes.
